I just browsed through the RFP myself. Looks like anyone can attend the pre-bid (no requirement to get on any kind of list first) but the RFP also states that they are looking for a vendor who has MANUFACTURED radio equipment on top of designing and installation.

That just about rules out everyone but Harris and Motorola. I guess EFJ could bid but other than some subscribers in Marietta and Dunwood, I don't know of an EFJ "system" in the State.

And if Clayton County wants to save MILLIONS of dollars, they should do like City of Marietta and put ALL non-Public Safety on an LTR system with a TG that is patched to the 911 DTRS Center for interoperability.

Naw, Clayton County would never go for it!

It also states they want interoperability with several jurisdictions. One if Henry County - EDACS! Wonder how that is going to work?

They would probably have to take donor radios from Henry and plug them into a ROIP solution such as Twisted Pair's WAVE or Cisco's IPICS. Or in Moto's case, MotoBridge. Otherwise the only interop would be via 7TAC/8TAC conventional overlay.

Henry is supposedly upgrading their switch (if they haven't already) and will gradually upgrade their sites and subscribers to go P25 in the near future.

Anyone here know why the Clayton 700 MHz project was abruptly put on hold? They put an indefinite hold addendum on their website the day before the Pre-Bid metting. Anyone??

You guys are brutal.

The County is stepping up to the plate to bring you out of the radio dark ages. I was just curious as to why the RFP got put on hold so abruptly.

P25 phase I is 15 year old technology.

My guess is they ran out of money.

What I fail to understand is why Clayco doesn't work with the city of Atlanta to expand their Astro 25 DTRS into the county. Would be much cheaper to add the needed sites and channels and just join the system.

But then this would actually require governments to work together, and this doesn't fit well with the "separate but equal" mentality Georgia local governments are renowned for.:roll:

Who said anything about Phase 1? Harris and Motorola can already deliver their systems Phase 2 ready. There is a 99.999999999999% chance that Clayton's new system will be one or the other. Clayton will get a Phase 2 ready system. Whether or not they use the functionalilty of it is a different story.

And COA is not upgraded to Phase 2 yet. Neither is Cobb, DeKalb or UASI. That will come with some future system firmware upgrade. Probably 7.9 with partial functionality. 7.10 or 7.11 to full functionality. The other x-factor is how much equipment also would have to be replaced. Just because you own a Phase 1 system and you get a firmware upgrade that will allow you to do TDMA doesn't mean your equipment can handle it. In many cases, you might as well bulldoze the entire rack if you want to get Phase 2 out of a system that was sold as Phase 1.

So I'm not sure what your point is about Phase 1 being antiquated and Clayton should just go on COA. That doesn't make sense when combined with your Phase 1 comment.

There's also this little thing called autonomy. Think Clayton wants to piggy back off of another regional system and lose out on controlling the bandwidth, talk groups, fleet mapping, etc,etc??

Me neither.

Yup, your scanning days are numbered in Clayton. Looks like they will do what Gwinnett did.

3.2.3 Encryption
Digital voice encryption, using federally approved digital encryption schemes (i.e. DES/AES), is a
required feature of the new network.
Two modes of encrypted digital voice operation are desired:
1. Unit-to-unit, where conversations in an encrypted talk group are secure. These cannot be
monitored at a dispatch or control point.
2. Dispatcher-to-unit, where conversations between the County’s E-911 Center, Backup E-911
Center and field units are secure.
The new network shall provide encrypted transmission so that system access delays are equal to those in ADDENDUM #1 RFP PKG. #11-20 RADIO PROJECT PAGE 39 OF 127
the clear mode. Encrypted transmissions shall not degrade the operation of clear-voice features nor
lengthen system access or audio transport delays to other users. Encryption shall not degrade the range or coverage less than normal digital performance. Note, the logging recorder must be able to record encrypted communications as specified in section 8.6, Digital Voice Logging Recorder.
